Bury is perhaps best known as the home of the ‘The East Lancashire Railway’ who’s terminus is just round the corner from Bury Bus Station.
A compact drive in drive out set up where the main operator is ‘rosso’ with ‘First Greater Manchester’ providing some variety.
‘rosso’ is the operating name of ‘Rossendale Transport’ who are based at Haslingden in the Rossendale valley.
The word ‘rosso’ in Italian translates as red so it is not surprising then that red is the main colour in the fleet’s livery.
At the time of writing, it has just been announced that ‘Rossendale Transport’ are to be taken over by ‘The Transdev Blazefield’ (TB) group.
Having seen what ‘TB’ have done in the surrounding towns of Blackburn, Keighley, Burnley and on across into West Yorkshire. I consider this a very positive move.
